SM Sta Mesa | SM Centerpoint | Manila, Philippines

After a short stroll at Greenhills Shopping Center, we went directly to SM Centerpoint to have our dinner there.

When we arrived, I noticed that the name of the mall was SM Sta Mesa and not SM Centerpoint. My dad then told me that SM Sta Mesa was formerly called SM Centerpoint. He said that it's the second SM Mall to be established in the Philippines. The mall is located very near the boundaries of Quezon City, San Juan City and in Manila.

However, the mall is not considered as the 3rd mall located in Quezon City because the term Centerpoint refers that the mall is located between the cities of Manila, San Juan and Quezon City. The SM Centerpoint was now changed to SM City Sta. Mesa in mid-May 2006, commemorating SM Sta. Mesa's 15th Anniversary. - Wikipedia

There was also a Graduation Reggae Special Event that day on SM Sta Mesa. There were a lot of hot, sexy Hawaiian (Filipinas actually, just dressed in Hawaiian) dancers and a Reggae Band to entertain the customers at the Food court. Here's a short video of the hot, sexy Hawaiian dancers and the cool Reggae band with a hot vocalist =).

Greenhills Shopping Center | San Juan, Manila, Philippines

After the 2 hours of Kerygma Feast at Valle Verde Country Club, we went to Greenhills Shopping Center. My dad was telling me that in the late 70’s, before all the big malls of SM sprout all over the metropolitan, Unimart (now Greenhills Shopping Center) is one of the Best Places to do your shopping.

One of the main attraction my dad always show to a newbie inside Greenhills Shopping Center is the miniature model of the Way to the Cross and Ancient Jerusalem. Sorry, no pictures allowed inside. No hard proof of how beautiful and sacred it is inside (Tsk3!). You got to visit and see it firsthand. It feels like you’re in Holy Land. Surely one of the Best Places In The World.

Uncle Sam's Trekkers | Mt. Mayapay Trekking Adventure | Butuan City, Philippines

Uncle Sam’s Trekker is Butuan’s 1st Trekking Group. Founded by Uncle Sam himself (Sam Amante), we were invited to trek Mt. Mayapay and it’s surroundings. It is only 10km away from Butuan City passing thru cemented and partly rough road. Upon reaching the top, one can have a grand view of the entire city including it’s nearby towns of Buenavista and Magallanes.

We trekked there for almost 3 hours, clearing the thick ravines until we reached the site of the transmitter tower of Sun Cellular. Sam told me that unknown to other, Mt. Mayapay has more than 10 waterfalls. We were not able to take clear pictures of the view below because of the thick fog.

We are still planning to go back there and see the wonders of Mt. Mayapay in Butuan City. Mt Mayapay is surely one of the Best Places To Trek in Butuan City.

Valle Verde Country Club, Kerygma Feast | Manila, Philippines

We arrived at Valle Verde Country Club around 12 noon so me and my dad just decided we eat somewhere near the place. Although we have finished eating, my stomach was still longing for the chicken bought at Terry’s Luncheonette and Chicken House that time.


The Valle Verde Country Club is the site where Mr. Bo Sanchez is holding a Kerygma Feast every Sunday. Kerygma is a greek word meaning “proclamation of the gospel”. So what can you expect in a Kerygma Feast?

No, it's not the traditional feast that we refer to with all kinds of dishes on the table. Rather it is a gathering of people to listen to Christ's teachings. Along with it are the worship and praise songs, prayers, thanksgiving and exhortations that opens and closes the event. It is open to all Christians and those who wish to attend. K-Feast is an evangelistic tool providing scriptural, practical and Orthodox teaching to Catholics particularly in the Catholic renewal. It is a monthly activity headed by the 'Light of Jesus' community. A Catholic community present in key cities of the Philippines with members from all walks; singles, couples, professionals, youth and more. The talks are given by Bo Sanchez and some Light of Jesus Community members. Bo is the proponent of K- feast and also in - charge of the publications of Kerygma and other books on practical guide for Catholics and Christians alike. The topics in the K- feast vary from God's love, virtues, attitudes, values to financial management.

We always make it a point every time we are in Manila to set aside its Sunday attending a Kerygma Feast. You’ll feel fully charged listening to Bo Sanchez, like a cell phone after an overnight charging.
